I am running 200 Cell FabSpeeds with a Gen II (Average Sound) and it is perfect for me. The car sounds the way it should as opposed to the inconspicuous farting sound that the stock exhaust released.

Straight pipes in my opinion (as my car has never, or will ever see a track) sound far too loud and IMHO somewhat undignified for the Marque. My current setup sounds really great, especially when warm. The tone changes slightly when it gets hot fro some reason.

Also from a performance perspective, I can break free all four wheels if I really try, although, I cannot say I do that often.

I am a 0 - 60 driver, and I baby my clutch. It is fast enough for me while being mechanically sound and non abrasive to the car. Heck i only have 6,000 miles on this Garage Queen. I have only done about 750 miles in a year. Sad I know.

I'll have straight pipes on at some point, for how long is yet to be determined.

I've done them on a couple of 911 turbos, the drone is brutal if you're stuck in the car for any amount of time. Great for the race track, but hell on the street. It's hard to even talk with someone in the car and forget having a nice stereo in the car as it's a complete waste of money with straight pipes.

The plus side is you can hear the turbos at off idle...

It sounds like I am going to get real good at taking off the rear bumper and changing out the OEM w/ the TJW mod and the straight pipes.

Speaking of the radio, the S/Ps might have a better drone this the stock radio does.

my fabspeed is louder than my m3 was with headers, straight pipes to the muffler. I cant imagine how loud true straight pipes on my car would be, especially those cold start mornings
